Songs of Ash and Dawn

Songs of Ash and Dawn is the first book in an all-new epic fantasy saga, where dark magic, ancient gods, and mythic creatures collide.

Some truths change everything. Some destroy it.

After her grandmother's sudden death, Aidan Klein inherits a powerful magical artefact—one she barely understands, let alone knows how to control. All she wants is time to grieve. But witches are vanishing, and something ancient is hunting in the dark.

Cora Scholtz believes she knows who she is. But when secrets about her true heritage begin to surface, the life she's built starts to unravel. Someone has been pulling the strings all along—and she's about to break free.

As monsters emerge from myth into reality, alliances shatter and trust fractures. Aidan and Cora must face dangerous magic, hidden powers, and the weight of destinies they never asked for.

With its blend of dark fantasy, urban fantasy intrigue, and mythology-inspired worldbuilding, Songs of Ash and Dawn launches an unforgettable saga of friendship, betrayal, and survival. Perfect for readers who love strong female leads, supernatural adventure, and found family fantasy.
